Olds hoods are metal frame, with a fiberglass top. If yours is all fiberglass,it is aftermarket.

"Someone" would be wrong. I have an all-fiberglass repro that I bought in the early 1980s. Actually, since it's all-fiberglass, "repro" is not the right word...

The only "different" hoods I've heard of was the one that fits the 1970 model and the one that fits the 1971-72. Other than fit, my understanding is that there was one type made. It had a metal frame with fibreglass skin. Although they mean well, 442.com is not always right.

And they never correct their mistakes either.
